Interesting haha, seems like we use the same timeframes - except you are a better trend trader than i am. I've been taking swings lately and usually with one position (10k units), hence why I couldn't let some of them run. Good luck!

I found it much easier to ride a trend when I could take some profit right away. I started to increase my trade size so that I could take 25% or 50% off the table and if it reversed I lowered my risk.

Now I trade in multiples of 4 and it is large enough so that reducing exposure by 50% not only gives me a decent profit but makes it worth while to let the remaining 50% ride. Slowly reduce your trade where you feel comfortable and leave a runner on with a stop where you would reverse your trade.

Not the easiest thing to get comfortable with but I found it works well for me.

Hi,

Does anyone here trade using FXCM ActiveTrader? I'm having serious problems with the platform tonight. I had a buy order scalp 3 hours ago and only just now (less than a few mins ago) they filled it but at the previous 3 hour price?? Ok so I try to close but can't??

Some support @ 4050. Divergence in RSI. Option barrier?

I know what you mean, but from some of the trades I take, I can't afford to risk more than I should to enter with at least 2 positions. In trending cases, I would normally look for a pause way below any original positions, in order to add - that is if there aren't support/resistance nearby.

I just closed my positions for now. It doesn't look wise for me to risk about 50 pips to let it run to 1.400. I feel 1.4 is an important level to watch for, it's round number + the daily 200 EMA levels around, which normally works in big ways. If there will be any retrace, it should be off of that level. If not then, damn, this thing is going much lower than we anticipated, faster.
Trends, breakouts, price action.

Nice catch Gator.
